Daycare Exemption

Properties used to provide early childcare services may be eligible for an exemption from property taxes. Adult day care centers may also be eligible for an exemption.

Generally, any building (except a residential dwelling) used full-time as a day care facility in the City of Fargo is eligible for an exemption. There are some exceptions that define the type of facilities that are not eligible for this exemption. For instance, child care provided in a church or shopping center where children are cared for during periods not exceeding four hours while the parents are attending services or shopping is not eligible.

If you would like to file an application for this exemption or have any questions about eligibility, please call the City of Fargo Assessor's Office at 701-241-1340.
